We have SLES 11.1 installed on Power on an LPAR and using Virtual CD rom
devices from the VIO. the problem of “mount: no medium found on
/dev/sr0” just occured over time and reboots would not fix the problem.
New Virtual CD devices would work for a time and then exhibit the same
problem.
I have found a workaround… for some reason the system thinks the drive
tray is ejected and “eject -t /dev/sr0” will fix the problem. I can not
reproduce the problem using the eject command (just fix it).
It would be nice to figure out what is causing this to happen (I am
suspecting haldaemon, but I need time to test as this happens over a
period of time … not instantly)
